July Pickups
 

My first card of the month arrived today and boy, is it a beauty. It's easily the centerpiece of my meager collection and a card I've wanted since 1989 when I got a reprint of this out of a '89 Bowman pack.

Sorry for the phone pic, it's all I have at work. What have you guys gotten so far this month?

Beautiful. Congrats.

Very nice, jarrod! Gonna need one of those for my '51 set some day...enjoy!

Jarrod, congrats on the Mantle...stunning card!

Just got these in the mail today. If anyone has any of these they're interested in selling let me know. I'll also buy duplicates.

What are those?

1971 Topps Winners
 

Everything there is to know is on Dave's blog :

http://toppsarchives.blogspot.com/20...revisited.html

And, if anybody has an April Bole card they want to get rid of, I would love to finish my set with it...

Doug

Very cool/odd. So how many do we speculate there are? I see Dave's blog says 10, but now you're mentioning another one...

10971 Winners
 

There is a checklist and pictures...minus one... on page two of the "1979 Topps Premium" thread one page back in this forum

This link has more from my blog. 15 is the current # of known subjects. http://toppsarchives.blogspot.com/se...opps%20Winners

Thanks Dave, that was a good read. Are any of these graded? Any recent sale prices? And how many people collect these, any ideas?

Got this in the mail today... I'm a little concerned about the frosting around the edges of the slab, and there's a little piece that is cracked and loose in the top left of the slab as well. Thoughts?

Anyhow, I'm down to the '49 Bowman, '50 Bowman, '53 Topps, and '56 Topps to complete my basic Jackie Robinson set.

very nice Connors card..

Literally a new one on me....

Wow, Dave. What is that?

Doug

A tough Topps test issue but because it has no actual players associated with it, not too well known. Very, very difficult I think-never ever seen one before. Got a bit more on it here:

http://toppsarchives.blogspot.com/20...something.html

Well that answers the ? of who won the lot of 3 packs that was on ebay LOL

Nice pickup Dave

Nice one, Dave. Congrats.

Not me actually-the buyer of that lot posts here sometimes though. I bought my three from the same seller but in a direct sale.

haven't been able to get many upgrades for my 52 Indians set lately, but then this week I managed to pick up two. Pretty excited to get them.

I've always thought the '52 Easter is one of the best looking cards ever created. Scans can't really pick all the background colors up but they are quite nuanced.

Munson
 

Pretty happy with my new Munson:

If anyone else has minty 71s plz contact me, looking to upgrade my set...

Some '59s...
 

Thanks to BasherBoy...

...I only need 21 more for the set...

I always thought the Gibson was a great looking card. Congrats on almost completing the set.

59 Gibson
 

I like the card as well, but having grown up in St Louis during the Gibson era, pink turned out to be all wrong

Gibson
 

Thanks guys...I like the baseball card more than the man, though. Quite the jerk in person in my experience...

Maz
 

Nothing earth shattering but I love Maz. Just picked these up today.

For some reason, the scan came out blurry... but anyhow.. Added another to my collection...

2 down, 11 more to go for the set.. working on a deal to get the Awaiting The Pitch card (though will only be a PSA 2 most likely).
Once I get all my new additions into PSA, I should move up to top 3 on Jackie Robinson master set.

That Gibson, and those Mazs look good!

Great looking Munson Patrick, so often they are far off center.

Flea Market Find
 

I just came back from the flea market and it was a scorcher. Got there right at the open as folks were setting up. An old guy had a box of cards. I went up looked threw them real quick. He wanted 20. I said will you take 15? He said I haven't even looked threw em yet but ok.

A bunch of commons and some not so commons. And I apologize that some of these are not baseball.

Wow OJ RC. No matter what the condition, $15 is probably worth it just for that one card. Good pickup!

Thanks Rob. That's a Joe Greene rookie as well. I have been researching some of them. A bunch of 1970, 71 football and baseball rookies.

Nice pickup, I love lots like that.

Sorry if I had this posted before but it was in the wrong thread. Anyways just got
in from PSA after a trade with Chris Buckler: 1952 Berk Ross Mickey Mantle PSA 2

I actually find the lot you found kind of amusing.. It's amazing that the Namath's, Starr's, Joe Green, Oj rookie and such are just floating around loose, while the eric rasmussen and joe niekro are in toploaders. I don't know why, but I just find that funny as hell.

Impulse win...
 

Picked this up from the latest Sterling Sports Auction...didn't realize the postcard would be so large...now I want more, too!

upgrade for my teamset
 

Very excited to get this one for my 52 Indians set.

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i2...952-18BB-8.jpg

Nice upgrade Dan. I finished a Red Sox 52 team set awhile back and there are a ton of Red Sox highs. Maybe there is an average amount of Sox in the highs (311-407) but it seemed liked there were more then average. Hope you have your highs completed and good luck.

Just wanted to share this card I picked up...

thanks Michael. I do not have my hi numbers done :( Have not been able to get a nice Sam Jones yet. Only 3 Indians in the highs...have a 7, 5, and a big gaping hole as of right now. Someday I'll find them. Oh and Patrick sweet Mantle!

Oh and here's the link to my set if anybody cares :D

Pat,

Swweeeet Mantle!

Love the Mantle, Pat! Great color.

Recent pickups

Spahn RC was from a N54 member

Clemente was an upgrade, still trying to get one with better centering!

Dan,

Wow@the Spahn! Very nice - I haven't had much luck in finding the '47 Tip Top Bread cards..

The Clemente looks pretty good too. I was wondering what happened to yours, as the Clemente was the only card keeping you from 100% on the Post HOF RCs on PSA Registry.

Do they have a registry for all Baseball HOF RCs Pre and Post-war?

I'll have some nice Jackie Robinson Bond Breads to post in the next few days including a Pop 5 (Glove in the air)

11.00 win
